Answer : The oxygen will appears in the final chemical equation as a reactant.
Explanation :
The given chemical reactions are:
(1)
![C(s)+(1)/(2)O_2(g)\rightarrow CO(g)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/chemistry/high-school/xyrq5gt24pg8mfjpzy2sps802an35tft9k.png)
(2)
![CO(g)+(1)/(2)O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/chemistry/high-school/oavjd6tl5w7mzu896i9xwwbt2lefayffl4.png)
Now we are adding reaction 1 and reaction 2, we get the final chemical equation.
The final chemical equation is:
![C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/chemistry/high-school/qobgqg2zks8jq5x1v1a8h8fasy7tmmvtxe.png)
Thus, the oxygen will appears in the final chemical equation as a reactant.
